Leave Uncertainty Behind

Zetec has set a new market benchmark for corrosion mapping with NDT PaintBrush, an extremely agile scanner that can operate on both flat and curved surfaces, providing the confidence of 100% area coverage. Its two encoded wheels that track the position of the scanner in real time allow the operator to visually identify areas that have not been covered. Coupled with the industry-leading TOPAZ ultrasonic instrument family and UltraVision software, NDT PaintBrush is the best solution available for corrosion and wall-thickness mapping.

A strength of NDT PaintBrush is its agility. The scanner is designed with magnetic wheels that stick to a metallic surface for easier use. For non-metallic surfaces, the wheels can be detached and replaced with composite dedicated wheels. The product’s intuitive makes user operation simple and quick.

Agile On Plates

Real-time onboard TOPAZ data position calculation allows moving freely on any 2D surface without any external mechanical constraint. Thanks to its magnetic, side-by-side wheels, NDT PaintBrush solution is a stable instrument that will stick firmly and that easily adapts to any magnetic surface. When using composite dedicated wheels, NDT PaintBrush becomes the ideal solution for the inspection of non-magnetic surfaces.

Agile On Pipes

NDT PaintBrush’s size and ergonomics make it the perfect pipe inspection tool. The device can inspect on curved surfaces and on pipes having a diameter as small as 4 inches. UltraVision™ analysis tools complete the solution allowing for data analysis and evaluation either online during inspection or as post-processing data analysis.

See The Location, See The Orientation

Seeing the location of the probe and data in real time during inspection ensures that the inspection process is performed well covering all the target area. Seeing the indications in real time allows you to properly assess the inspection process.

Extensive Statistical Data

3D Plotting

Corrosion is easily identifiable with UltraVision 3D—get 3D plotting for outstanding rendering of corrosion data on specimen parts. The tool can specify the depth of the corrosion. Therefore you know when action must be taken. Requires UltraVision 3D license on an external computer.

NDT PaintBrush is compatible with the TOPAZ, using UltraVision 3.7R1 and up.

DEDICATED GUI FOR NDT PAINTBRUSH

A new dedicated and intuitive interface for configuring your NDT PaintBrush scanner is included in UltraVision 3.7R1 Touch for TOPAZ.

This interface allows adjusting the positioning and references for the inspection by simply a few clicks on TOPAZ screen.

PROBE POSITION MARKER

The agility of NDT PaintBrush combined with the real time data visualization optimizes and simplifies the inspection process.

DEDICATED REPORT REPRESENTATION

A dedicated reporting feature was added to present data from corrosion mapping applications in the reporting process.

This tool includes statistical measurement such as histogram information on the inspection reporting.

DATA STITCHING

When inspecting a large surface, it is sometime useful to separate the inspection job in smaller sections for an easier approach.

Thanks to the new Data Stitching feature, there smaller sections can be easily reconstructed into one consolidated data file.

Data Stitching function allows adjusting the position of the data sections and correcting for angular misalignments.

AUTO TCG

The new Auto TCG calibration allows the user to create multiple TCG points all at once. Using only one gate long enough to cover all reflectors, it is now possible to sweep through all of them and create all the TCG points in one step.

DATA EXPORT

A new Data Export tool allows exporting inspection data into .txt files that can be used for further processing.

Works With A Complete Range Of Probes

Works with standard 1D PA probes which are compatible with TOPAZ32, Zircon, Dynaray and many other adaptors and electronics systems. The system allows for interactive probe detection and recognition. There are 19 different types of probes, varying in frequency, active aperture, pitch and number of elements. In addition, custom phased array probes and wedges can be supplied to meet specific requirements and applications.

Handheld Encoder

The TOPAZ32 handheld encoder is a mini encoder supplied with 5m of cable and a waterproof connector compatible with Zircon and TOPAZ32 systems. It includes a bracket kit to allow attachment onto Zetec wedges.
